The need for strategic change arises from the formulation and implementation of the business strategy that underpins the direction and activity of an organisation. Beneath your strategic business plan sits your people strategy and people plan.

High level strategic decisions may result in, and necessitate, changes to structure, systems, culture, managerial approach and technology; what is more certain is that such change will bring direct impacts on people. Articulating the impact of change on your business and your people is essential, both for the protection of ‘business as usual’ activities and achievement of the actual business change.
